Officials say 25 people on both sides were hurt. Thursday's action was the first major West Bank eviction since a violent 2006 confrontation that left dozens of people injured.
More than a dozen settler families took over the house in March 2007 and remained there despite a series of eviction orders. Rioting spread quickly to other parts of the West Bank as well.
